Winning an Oscar is nice, but having this guy compose a theme for my character: fuckin’ awesome!

John Williams is many things. One thing he's not, a man with two tape recorders up his nose. 

[Naïve Old Fart 10,313]

Guess where those fingers are going, next!

[Tom 5,025]

 

Well, at least one of us won tonight.  

[BB-8 3,885]

Guess how many Oscars he's got!

 

Wrong!

 

Yes, that's right!

[Jurassic Shark 12,891]

I can't believe I'm sitting next to the great Richard Attenborough, who played in the two Jurassic movies scored by John Williams!

 

[BB-8 3,885]

 

Look, he's arranging "Dactyls" from Violin Concerto No. 2 for double bass with a double-ended Bleistift, ja, ja!

[BB-8 3,885]

"And you're in and out of there in, like, an hour."
"Wow."
"Yeah, no, shit's incredible. It's like I'm back in college."
"And what did you say this was called again?"
"LASIK."
"Gotcha."

"I do."

I'm going to apologize ahead of time for this one......"Judge me by my size, do you?"

[Cerebral Cortex 3,358]

"Today is my 91st birthday. Yes, and alas... ninety and one years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable people! I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you as well as you deserve."

 

[BB-8 3,885]

"You told me I would need a better composer for this."

"And then you said you knew but they were all dead."

"No, why?"

 

"Because they're all dead!"

[GerateWohl 4,977]

 

JW: "And then Hans shouted at me: 'And still people praise your brillant two note theme. Do you know, how many themes I wrote for movies, that just consist of two notes? Hundreds!!! And nobody cares! And the worst thing about this: YOURS IS NOT EVEN JUST A TWO NOTE THEME!!! It is much more complex. But nobody cares!' I just responded 'Don't be so Salieri'."

JW: I should have gone for red wine instead of Gin'n'Tonic. I can sense a wonderful bouquet of ripe berries, tabacco, leather, black pepper, with notions of oak and vanilla.

 

IP: It's Cola Zero...

[Thor 8,200]

Thanks, BB-8! I was waiting and hoping for someone to pick up on the drink aspect.

I did, but I couldn't think of anything funny to do with it.

 

…well, perhaps this:

IP: Steven needs a better composer than you for this.

JW: I know, but they're all drunk.

 

[Jurassic Shark 12,891]

IP: Taste my holy grail of bloood.

JW: Those were some good composers...

[BB-8 3,885]

JW:...plus my vinyard when you win me another Oscar.

IP: My glass is empty. Where is my red wine?

JW: Oh, I'm afraid you spilled it all on your jacket. But hold on. Let me clean it up a little by spilling my Wodka over it.

IP: Sounds reasonable. Go on.

JW: Didn't work. Let's get some white wine and try that.

JW: Who are you toasting to?

IP: Erich.

JW: Which Erich?

IP: Korngold.

JW: Why? He is dead!

IP: But he is a better composer than you.

JW: I know. But he is dead. Dead. DEAD!

IP: Why are you saying 'dead' three times?

JW: Just to be sure.

 

[BB-8 3,885]

JW: Do you want to come back to my place?

[GerateWohl 4,977]

JW: I heard rumors that Hans Zimmer wrote you a violin concerto.

IP: No concerto. It is just a trio.

JW: What instruments?

IP: Violin, washing machine and triangle.

JW: So, who plays the triangle?

IP: I was afraid you would never ask.
